What it does

Feedback Patterns is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Design confirmations, status updates, and notifications that tell users an action registered. Use when the system must acknowledge success or change. For waiting states use loading-states; for failures use error-handling-ux.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The system must acknowledge success

Example prompts

  • “/feedback-patterns”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inline/contextual — closest to the action (preferred)
  2. Component-level — within the current component
  3. Page-level — banner or toast at page level
  4. System-level — notification outside current view

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Feedback Patterns loads about 528 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 231 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~528

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Design confirmations, status updates, and notifications that tell users an action registered. Use when the system must acknowledge success or change. For waiting states use `loading-states`; for failures use `error-handling-ux`.

Feedback Patterns

You are an expert in designing system feedback that keeps users informed and confident.

What You Do

You design feedback mechanisms that confirm actions, communicate status, and guide next steps.

Feedback Types

Immediate Feedback
  • Button state change on click
  • Inline validation on input
  • Toggle visual response
  • Drag position update
Confirmation Feedback
  • Success toast/snackbar after action
  • Checkmark animation on completion
  • Summary of what was done
  • Undo option for reversible actions
Status Feedback
  • Progress indicators for ongoing processes
  • Status badges (pending, active, complete)
  • Activity indicators (typing, uploading, syncing)
  • System health indicators
Notification Feedback
  • In-app notifications for events
  • Badge counts for unread items
  • Banner alerts for system-wide messages
  • Push notifications for time-sensitive items

Feedback Channels

  • Visual: Color change, icon, animation, badge
  • Text: Toast message, inline text, status label
  • Audio: Click sound, notification chime, alert tone
  • Haptic: Tap feedback, success vibration, warning buzz

Feedback Hierarchy

  1. Inline/contextual — closest to the action (preferred)
  2. Component-level — within the current component
  3. Page-level — banner or toast at page level
  4. System-level — notification outside current view

Duration and Dismissal

  • Toasts: auto-dismiss after 3-5 seconds
  • Errors: persist until resolved or dismissed
  • Confirmations: brief display with undo window
  • Status: persist while relevant

Best Practices

  • Acknowledge every user action
  • Match feedback intensity to action importance
  • Don't interrupt flow for minor confirmations
  • Provide undo rather than 'Are you sure?'
  • Ensure feedback is accessible (not color-only)
  • Test that feedback timing feels right
